9,869 miles from home but who's counting...

It's Monday afternoon and I just finished my only class of the day - Hip-Hop. I almost learned the entire routine today. PROGRESS! Denise, Trevor, and I went to Sydney Dance Company on Saturday and took a hip-hop class. It was soooo much fun so I'm gonna buy a pass and keep going every week. Watch out Sam Dyson!! hehe :) So after the dance class, we went to the beach. I got slammed and knocked around by the waves for about 10 minutes til it started to rain :/ But it's all good because we went back to Trevor, David, and Eddie's house and had spaghetti with KANGAROO meat! It was soooo good! Don't knock it 'til you try it :)

On Sunday we went to Macca's (McDonald's) and sat around there on our computers because they have free internet. Internet is different in Australia, it's not one flat rate for internet. They pay by the megabyte (I think) so we can't use the internet at our houses. Then off to our Greek church where we got to hang out with Mickey. He works with a fashion magazine and he's gonna take me and Denise shopping! I also sustained an injury playing ping-pong with an 8 year old but we won't go into that one :P

Culture shock is starting to set in a bit I think. Times when you're standing at the bus stop in the rain and your bus is mysteriously MIA. Or when all you need is a hug from Mom or your best friend and you realize it's not a matter of jumping in your car and driving to Philly, Hanover, Rahway, Pottstown, Westminster, or wherever! It would involve a few plane rides, boat, or even a giant raft if you're feeling adventurous and it's just not gonna happen. At that point it's time to make a choice. There's always curl up into a little ball and cry or, in the words of Dory, "Just keep swimming". So that is my thought of the day - "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming, swimming"
